Inonotus Obliquus extract

Chaga mushroom extract – Finland,organic

Chaga mushroom is an adaptogenic mushroom that has been used as a medicinal plant for thousands of years both in Finland and across Asia. The antioxidant content of chaga mushroom is very high. It includes superoxidase dismutase, one of the most important enzymatic antioxidants in the human body, as well as betulinic acid, inodotiol, beta-glucans and polysaccharides. Thanks to these active compounds, chaga mushroom effectively neutralizes and protects against the cell damage caused by free radicals, signs of premature ageing and air pollution. In addition, it hydrates and soothes the skin.

Most of the world’s adaptogenic mushroom extracts are produced from fungal grains and fungal mycelium, not from the actual fruiting bodies. Djusie uses only organically grown Finnish and very high-quality chaga extract, which is extracted entirely from fruiting bodies instead of grains and mycelium. The active ingredients of the mushroom are found in the fruiting bodies. The producer of Djusie’s chaga extract specialises in the cultivation and extraction of, and research into, adaptogenic mushrooms.

Inositol
Inositol – Finland

 

Inositol is an important nutrient found in every cell of the body, and one which the body can also produce itself. Many foods contain inositol. The inositol used by Djusie is made from sugar beet as a by-product of sugar production. Inositol strengthens cell membranes, supports the skin’s keratinization process, and strengthens its protective barrier. In addition, it boosts the activity of the mitochondria, which are responsible for the energy metabolism of cells, i.e. cellular respiration – it thus enhances cellular metabolism and improves the oxygen supply to the skin. Inositol has also been found to enhance the production of filaggrin, which is a very important protein in the skin’s protective barrier. Inositol is an effective and multifunctional active ingredient for all skin types, especially for sensitive, dry or sagging skin, and for the treatment of fine lines, as it increases skin elasticity and prevents signs of ageing.
